Product Description

Review
 "highly professional...a very useful and up-to-date account of the most interesting period in Spanish history"Times Literary Supplement

Product Description
Fully revised and updated to take account of the latest research by historians, the second edition of this popular volume remains the only textbook in English to give full coverage to both domestic and foreign policy in the period.

Henry Kamen presents Spain as a poor nation thrust reluctantly into an imperial role for which it was never fully equipped, and which provoked deep internal divisions and conflicts. He observes that Spaniards continued to question and debate the unification of their country, the conquest of America, the wars in the Netherlands, the role of the Inquisition, the expulsion of the Moriscos and many other aspects of public policy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthwile read from a well respected author, 23 May 2002
By A Customer
It is a must for any historian studying the period. It does, however, tend to focus more on the religious aspects and concerns of Spain and her monarquia throughout the period though. The Spainish Inquisition is covered in detail. His lastest publication on the issue is, understandably, more focused but this gives you a detailed summary. A good and worthwhile Read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what a history book should be!, 10 Sep 2002
Kamen's comprehensive and compelling history of the birth of modern Spain is simply breathtaking. Not only did it guide me all but single-handedly through the Spanish papers at A-level history, but I voluntarily read it cover to cover over the summer. All the necessary information is there, with a wealth of explanatory detail, but the book is written with a marvellous humanity that brings to life Isabella's devotion, Charles I's tragic sense of duty and failure and Philip II's visionary ambition, as these very real rulers struggled to forge and establish their nation in a turbulent period of European history. An essential read for anyone with an interest in Spanish history, or anyone simply wanting to be fascinated and moved.
